Definitions
- This invention relates to biomass pyrolysis and pyrolysis oil upgrading process with a fluid catalytic cracking unit.
- Biomass is any carbon containing material derived from living or formerly living organisms, such as wood, wood waste, crops, crop waste, waste, and animal waste.
- Pyrolysis which is the thermal decomposition of a substance into its elemental components and/or smaller molecules, is used in various methods developed for producing hydrocarbons, including but not limited to hydrocarbon fuels, from biomass. Pyrolysis requires moderate temperatures, generally greater than about 325° C., such that the feed material is sufficiently decomposed to produce products which may be used as hydrocarbon building blocks.
- biomass produces four primary products, namely water, “bio-oil,” also known as “pyrolysis oil,” char, and various gases (H 2 , CO, CO 2 , CH 4 , and other light hydrocarbons) that do not condense, except under extreme conditions.
- bio-oil also known as “pyrolysis oil”
- char various gases (H 2 , CO, CO 2 , CH 4 , and other light hydrocarbons) that do not condense, except under extreme conditions.
- gases H 2 , CO, CO 2 , CH 4 , and other light hydrocarbons
- Fast pyrolysis is one method for the conversion of biomass to bio-oil.
- Fast pyrolysis is the rapid thermal decomposition of organic compounds in the absence of atmospheric or added oxygen to produce liquids, char, and gas.
- fast pyrolysis uses dry ( ⁇ 10% moisture) feedstock of biomass comminuted into small particles (between approximately 0.1-3 mm), moderate temperatures (325-750° C.), and short residence times (0.5-2 seconds). This pyrolysis reaction may be followed by rapid quenching to avoid further decomposition of the pyrolysis products and secondary reactions amongst the pyrolysis products.
- Bio-oil yields typically range from 50-75% mass of input biomass and are heavily feedstock dependent.
- known methods of bio-oil production result in bio-oil with high oxygen and water content; such oxygen and water content may result in storage instability and phase-separation issues.
- the pyrolysis of a wood based biomass will produce a mixture of organic compounds such as lignin fragments, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, phenols, furfurals, alcohols, and ketones, as well as water.
- organic compounds such as lignin fragments, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, phenols, furfurals, alcohols, and ketones, as well as water.
- compounds such as the aldehydes and acids may react with other components of the bio-oil, creating instability, corrosiveness, and poor combustion characteristics.
- Upgrading pyrolysis oils is difficult due to acidity of the pyrolysis oil, contamination with other compounds, and the tendency to form coke by-products. Damaging costly cracking catalysts is expensive and removes any profit margins from processing biomass and pyrolysis oil to high value hydrocarbons. Therefore, it would be desirable to have a method of cracking biomass and upgrading pyrolysis oil into useful products in a cost effective manner.
- Integrating a biomass pyrolysis and pyrolysis oil upgrading process into a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit uses conventional FCC feed and a mixture of a solvent and biomass to produce upgraded fuel products.
- a slurry stream composed of solid biomass particles and a solvent is fed into an FCC riser through a slurry pump to achieve biomass pyrolysis and in situ pyrolysis oil upgrading.
- the catalytic cracking of the conventional FCC feed also occurs in the riser.
- the solid and vapor products are separated by cyclones in the FCC reactor. Solid products entrained by the FCC catalyst particles are burned off in the regenerator and the vapor (conversion) product is distillated into various streams including naphtha, LCO, and decant oil in the main fractionator.
- an FCC unit with a mixed feed stream having a solvent stream and a biomass feed stream comprising biomass feedstock; a slurry pump, mixer, or combination of a mixer and slurry pump to transport the mixed feed stream to a riser; a feed stream containing conventional FCC feedstock; an FCC riser in which the mixed feed stream and the conventional FCC feedstock react with a regenerated catalysts for catalytic cracking and upgrading; a reactor/stripper for separating upgraded fuel products from the deactivated FCC catalyst; and a regenerator to regenerate deactivated (spent) catalyst to regenerated catalyst.
- Long chain petroleum compounds and biomass are upgraded to fuel products in the FCC riser.
- biomass is cracked and upgraded to fuel products by mixing a biomass feed stream with a solvent to produce a mixed feed stream, transporting the mixed feed stream through a slurry pump, mixer, or mixer and slurry pump to a riser; combining the mixed feed stream with a conventional FCC feed stream and regenerated catalyst in the riser, cracking and upgrading the biomass feed to upgraded fuel products in the riser; separating upgraded fuel products from deactivated catalyst in reactor/stripper, regenerating the deactivated FCC catalyst in the regenerator; and recycling the regenerated FCC catalyst to the FCC riser.

- biomass includes any renewable source (living or formerly living) but does not include oil, natural gas, and/or petroleum. Biomass thus includes wood, paper, crops, animal and plant fats, triglycerides, biological waste, algae, and the like.
- Bio-oil or “pyrolysis oil” as used herein, is a complex mixture of several hundred organic compounds, such as lignin fragments, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, carbohydrates, phenols, furfurals, alcohols, and ketones, derived from fast pyrolysis of biomass feedstocks. Pyrolysis oil without additives or processing tends to be very corrosive and damaging to transportation, refinery, and other industry equipment.
- Fluid catalytic cracking or FCC process vaporizes and breaks long-chain, high-boiling hydrocarbon liquids into shorter molecules by contacting the feedstock, at high temperature and moderate pressure, with a fluidized powdered catalyst.
- FCC units include “stacked” and “side-by-side” reactors, as well as other configurations.
- the reactor and the catalyst regenerator are contained in a single vessel with the reactor above the catalyst regenerator.
- the side-by-side reactor has separate reactor and catalyst regenerator in two separate vessels, often side by side.
- conventional FCC feed contains a portion of the crude oil that has an initial boiling point of about 340° C. (645° F.) or higher at atmospheric pressure and an average molecular weight ranging from above about 200 to over 600 MWT or higher.
- This portion of crude may also be called heavy vacuum gas oil.
- the heavy vacuum gas oil is the primary feed of FCC units. Often other streams, such as atmospheric distillation bottoms and coker gas oil, are mixed with the heavy vacuum gas oil as feed for FCC units.
- Long chain carbon compounds include long chain hydrocarbons typically found in a conventional petroleum based FCC feed stream as well as hydrocarbons, lignins, carbohydrates, lipids, fats, cholesterols, polyols, and other complex molecules found in biological materials including those found in biomass, pyrolysis oil, and other biologically derived feed streams.
- Solvent as used herein may include pyrolysis oil, conventional FCC feed, heavy vacuum oil, atmospheric distillation bottoms, coker gas oil, hexanes, naphthas, light cycle oil, fuel oil, decant oil, raffinate, cyclohexane, N-hexane, kerosene, diesel, water, steam, alcohols, polyols, and the like that either dissolve, suspend, emulsify, or otherwise fluidize biologically derived feed streams.
- Light petroleum gases include propane; propylene; mixed butanes; mixed butylenes; and other small hydrocarbons.
- a slurry stream composed of (1) solid biomass particles and (2) conventional FCC feed is fed through a slurry pump into an FCC riser to achieve biomass pyrolysis and in situ pyrolysis oil upgrading.
- Another feed stream contains only conventional FCC feed stream is also injected into the riser for conventional catalytic cracking.
- the injection location for the mixed biomass feedstock could be located anywhere in the riser/reactor and may be altered dependent upon the characteristics of the biomass feed and the temperature of the recycled catalyst.
- the mixed biomass feed may be injected at low concentrations with the FCC feed stream at the base of the riser. This will allow small amounts of the biomass feedstock to be converted over longer periods of time to upgraded fuel products.
- higher concentrations of the mixed biomass feed may be injected at one or more injection points along the riser dependent upon the temperature and catalyst circulation rate in the riser.
- the slurry stream temperature is maintained sufficiently low to prevent pyrolysis reaction in the pipeline (before entering the riser).
- Fast pyrolysis of biomass occurs in the riser with high heating rate and short residence time.
- the pyrolysis oil is diluted with the hydrocarbon vapors, resulting in reduced undesired pyrolysis secondary reactions.
- in situ pyrolysis oil upgrading is achieved in the presence of FCC catalyst and additives such as ZSM-5.
- the solid and vapor products are separated by cyclones in the FCC reactor.
- the solid products (i.e., coke and char) entrained by catalysts are burned off in the regenerator, and the volatile product stream is distillated into various fractions (e.g., LPG, naphtha, LCO, and decant oil) in the main fractionator.
- various fractions e.g., LPG, naphtha, LCO, and decant oil
- biomass particles with diameter in the range of 0.1-5000 ⁇ m are mixed with recycled decant oil to form a slurry stream.
- the temperature of the mixed slurry stream is below approximately 350° C. (662° F.) to avoid slow pyrolysis reactions in the feed line and thermal cracking of the recycled decant oil.
- the injection point of the slurry stream is located in the middle section of the riser allowing short (approximately 1 sec) residence time for pyrolysis and upgrading.
- Reaction feasibility is assessed using an autoclave catalytic reactor.
- Feeds containing biomass, pyrolysis oil, conventional FCC feed streams and decant oil are fed into the catalytic reactor and measured across a variety of reaction temperatures, feed residence time, and catalyst to feed ratios.
- the reaction temperature, feed stream rates, feed residence time, biomass/solvent/conventional FCC feed concentrations, and FCC catalyst loadings are modified to obtain maximum fuel range products.
- the mixed feed stream may contain between 0.1 and 90% biomass (see TABLE 1).
- Residence time may vary dependent upon injection point. Residence time is approximately 1 to 4 seconds from bottom of riser to top of the riser. When the injection is in the middle, residence time is approximately half of that from bottom of riser to top of riser. Injection at the top of the riser can lead to much lower residence times than 1 second.
- Conventional FCC feed temperature is normally between approximately 90° C. to about 345° C. ( ⁇ 200° F.-650° F.), while riser temperature is approximately 400° C. to about 650° C. ( ⁇ 750° F.-1200° F.). Fast pyrolysis occurs above 350-400° C. ( ⁇ 660° F.-750° F.).
- This process may be conducted in batch or continuous flow reactions across a range of biomass, pyrolysis oil, decant oil, and conventional FCC feed stream concentrations. Concentrations may be measured in % w/v, % v/v, Molar concentration, or they may be interchanged dependent upon the feed streams and information provided. Biomass concentration may range from less than 0.1% w/v up to approximately 90% w/v. Biomass may be supplemented with pyrolysis oil to further increase the amount of renewable fuel produced.
- the biomass may be mixed with a solvent at a lower temperature approximately 90° C. (200° F.) prior to injection into the riser at a much higher temperature, approximately 400° C. to 650° C. ( ⁇ 750° F.-1200° F.).
